I would have to license and insure a side by side to ride roads in Idaho too. I’m not sure what the OHV license costs. Probably less than registering a vehicle. I use my little car for hunting and pretty much everything that I don’t want to drive my truck for. The side by side would be nice...

I don’t have any experience with a side by side but if they make one less than 50” I can see the benefit to one. I have a 4 wheeler for riding trails that I rarely use. If you are looking for something to ride back roads without tearing up your truck I use a small suv. I have a 98 Kia Sportage...

Just my home state of Idaho. I want to hunt some otc units in neighboring states but I seem to have a hard time getting out as much as I want here at home. I’ll be trying to get a second deer tag for Idaho but they have been hard to get lately.

Congratulations. That buck looks huge.

Congratulations. Are you doing something with the deer hide?

We have some nice bucks around here. I might shoot one of them if I ever start passing on bucks like this one. 6th buck I saw in 3 1/2 days. I saw one bigger but couldn’t get a shot. This one looked good enough to me this morning. Now I can go back to work. Yay.

Congratulations. That’s a cool buck. I’ve seen three bucks chasing does yesterday and tonight. The rut is definitely going full steam here.

Congratulations. Looks like a cool area. We’re the elk in those burned areas? Looks like that’s where yours was.

I guess I would chalk that up to bad luck. If I saw elk at last light I would be right back there in the morning. I was on a ridge that had elk sign all over it. As I was working my way up it I heard a wolf howl further up the drainage. A couple minutes later there was a stampede of elk going...

That’s a nice buck. Our mule deer live in terrain you would expect mountain goats to be in. That place looks like you could walk for hours and still see camp.

Nice work. I’ve seen the elk photo. Where are the deer photos?

Congratulations. It’s not supposed to be like this. There is supposed to be years of frustration and blown opportunities before you get your first elk. Are you working on plans for next year?

That’s a long nose on the first deer. She looks mature. Congrats.

That’s funny. My dad says he’s busier now too. He still makes time for fishing. Before he did it on weekends. Now he does it whenever he can as long as it’s not on a weekend.

My dad retired a few years ago so he has time to fish. It was a waste of time. He trolled for kams for 5 hours and got 0 bites.

In his defense he’s old. We went out today. Hiked 7 miles. Lots of elk tracks but no elk. We got almost to where I thought elk would be and we saw a truck parked at the bottom of the hill we were headed to. A forester was counting trees. He said he hadn’t seen anything. That’s probably the end...

My mom had an any weapon tag this year. My dad went with her several times. The season ended today. They saw a lot of sign in a couple areas but no elk. Lots of people. My dad has the same tag I had. It has a short any weapon season that starts tomorrow. He’s going fishing instead. I’m going...

Is anyone hunting for anything around here? It’s been awfully quite for a while. I’m going out for deer starting in about a week but I won’t get too serious about it until the rut which for us will be around early to mid November.

Congratulations. That’s a heck of a season already. Did you leave money in the budget for another freezer or two?

Thanks everyone. We cut up the whole elk and brought all of it out like we normally would. It all looked fine when it came off the carcass but I could smell that it wasn’t all fine in the game bags. We got it home and broke everything down and started smelling the meat as it came off and...
